My favorite are the ones where you're fighting the boss for a long enough time, and you use all your items on it thinking it's worth it, then you figure out its a scripted boss so you let yourself lose only to find out it wasn't a scripted boss in the first place and you're just garbage so you put the game down for a year while you think about your life.

Then you go back after a year and realize you forgot how to play and then you give up

lowkey this happened to me with Xenosaga 2

What about when you lose easily
Think "oh, ok I'm supposed to lose this fight"
Then you get the game over screen?

Several enemies in kingdom hearts or similar games. Enemy has huge bursts of aoe attacks that aren't easily dodged or have tracking on them that limits your ability to dodge anything else they throw out. Or they have some secret weak spot you have to exploit but you wouldn't have any idea if it is your first time playing.

I can't think of a single KH boss that gave me the vibe I was supposed to lose

Sephiroth gave me this vibe that I was supposed to lose and then give up and go do something else lmao

What about battles where you can win by not attacking the enemy.

In FF4 Mt. Ordeals, you can actually win by attacking, it's just really really really hard. The Dark Knight also has different defeat speech if you win.

FF5's Gogo though, I don't think there is a way to win by attacking, he's just too strong.

no point really since most of them still act like you lost in the cutscene after the battle

You typically get some reward for winning. It's only the fights where the enemies are so ridiculously overpowered that the developer did not intend a way to win to be feasible but it's winnable regardless through some exploitation of mechanics or bugs or cheat devices does winning play out exactly the same as losing.

In Tales of Xillia 1 The first Gaius fight plays out exactly the same but you get an extremely rare item as a reward for beating him

I mean I never said it was supposed to suck either.

No you didn't, perhaps a better paraphrasing here of your original assessment is "I am not surprised that a movie about Norse Gods and Aliens treats itself like a joke."

But here is the problem with that assessment. It doesn't actually treat itself like a joke. Kung Fury is a movie about Norse Gods and aliens, and treats itself like a joke, and does it well.

Thor Ragnarok sets the stage for the serious apocalyptic movie and then ruins the mood by having the characters just not care about anything that happens in the movie.

Like you can't tell me there isn't a huge difference between the tone of the trailer and the actual movie.

Here, take a look.



The trailer is almost completely lacking in humor beyond the Hulk/Thor conversation towards the end. It gives you literally zero indication that you were walking into essentially comedy movie.

Either your assessment that this movie was not intended to be dramatic is wrong, or we're just being lied to.

And I don't think the movie sucks, I just think it's overrated for the same reasons as Unfair.

There have been like 6 first party titles just this year.

BotW, SMO, MK8DX, Pokken DX, ARMS, Xenoblade 2.

There are even more if you count stuff like 1-2-Switch, and they're starting the second year with a new Kirby.

Thats the thing, for the next 70 years well probably have to pay extra to keep this guy safe.

What about him?


He was big news at some point, and now he's just dead to the world and no one talks about him anymore


Doesn't always work that way.

People did talk about Charles Manson for literally decades. They're still talking about Anders Brevik (sp?) and nobody is talking much about Ariel Castro (suicide in cell) and basically nobody even knows who Timothy McVeigh is anymore.

He has not contributed any tax money yet to society. I say we spend a good 3-4 years working on his psychology and restoring him to normal so he can get a job and pay taxes to give back to the government and the country. Putting a bullet in him is bad for everyone.

Not always the case. The ones that take that long are the ones that appeal it constantly. OKC bomber was killed quick af

Death penalty folks get unlimited appeals. This typically is most significant when the evidence against them amounts to things like DNA, fingerprints, etc.

This isn't the case with this shooter. The evidence against him is insurmountable. DNA can wind up in all sorts of places and fingerprints aren't as reliable a means of identification that most people think they are. If there is even a miniscule chance the evidence is wrong death penalty is an extremely long procedure.

Otherwise you basically get an Express lane to the injection bed.

Wasn't that Mario vs donkey Kong a platformer of sorts? Obviously not what we think of when we think classic Mario, but still.

Mario vs Donkey Kong is closer to classic Mario than not. It's different from Super Mario but that's strictly a different series.

If you look at other games in the Donkey Kong series following Donkey Kong 3, you'll see they're actually vaguely similar in style.

I can't find a good comparison of the Donkey Kong games in general, but here is one that shows Pauline throughout all her games and it goes through several of the Donkey Kong games.

Just because NIN says the word "shit," that does not automatically make it a better version of the song. I'll give them credit for originating the song, and they did a really good job of it, but that song was tailor made for Johnny Cash.


Yes it's definitely the word "shit" that causes people to praise the song and not the industrial atmosphere that makes the song as dark as it is. You cracked the code

Trent liked the lyric change specifically for Cash.


It was a good lyric change but that lyric isn't the reason people like the original. In fact it's the one flaw with the original
